Nautica Nook: Ocean Escape with Saltwater Pool
Picturesque Semi-Oceanfront Nautical Nook in Whalehead This gorgeous semi-oceanfront Outer Banks rental with an elevator located in the Whalehead Club subdivision is the perfect spot to spend your next Outer Banks vacation. With 5 Bedrooms, 5 Full Bathrooms, and 2 Half-Bathrooms, your whole family will be able to enjoy a week or more in this well-appointed vacation home. Take advantage of the Elevator, which escorts you to each floor and enjoy warm, sunny days in the Private Saltwater Pool!* The Game Room also boasts a Ping Pong Table and since the beach is just a short walk away, every day promises endless fun when you stay here in Whalehead!
Enter in on the Ground Level of this gorgeous home where you'll not only find the Elevator to take you up to every level, but also a Wet Bar with an ice maker for whipping some delicious mid-day snacks and an Ensuite Bedroom that's ideal for unwinding and relaxing after a day at the beach. Freshen up in the Hallway Half Bathroom and get your clothes sorted in the Laundry Area with built-in cabinets and an LG Front Load Washer/Dryer before passing through the Sunroom to relax outside. Take a dip in the Private Saltwater Pool and relax in the Gazebo with a delicious meal or some cool drinks as you enjoy the sunset with a cool ocean breeze. The Sailfish Public Beach Access is less than 500 feet away, so a quick 1-minute walk means that surf, sand, and sun await you any time of the day.
Hop in the Elevator to the Middle Level where you can easily relax with 3 Ensuite Bedrooms and a cozy Foyer that's great for keeping beach bags and flip flops organized. Blow off some steam in the Game Room with a Ping Pong Table and step out onto the Deck for a quiet sunrise with your early morning cup of coffee or your favorite beach read in the afternoon.
Upstairs, on the Top Level, take in the brilliant views of the ocean with multiple large windows in the spacious Living Area as you soak in the beauty of the tongue and groove Juniper line that cuts across the vaulted ceiling. Enjoy the top-level hardwood flooring as you make your way through the spacious Dining Area and whip up something delicious in the Gourmet Kitchen. Make an unforgettable family meal with a U-Line Beverage Center, 6-Burner gas cooktop, warming drawer, double oven, microwave drawer, French door refrigerator and a wine rack that's perfect for the whole week. Double kitchen sinks and plenty of granite countertop prep space ensure easy cleanup when the meal is done. Enjoy privacy and luxury in the Master Bedroom with a Private Bathroom. Take in the smell of the salt from the ocean and let yourself settle into island time for the length of your stay, and every future stay hereafter.
